tore my scrotum while biking, when is it OK to ride again?
Post Body

so i tore a 5-7cm long hole in my scrotum and was stitched up in no time with almost no pain today. Stiches are meant to go out after 10days and im on day 3 now, how long until i can get back on the bike? Mountain biking to be specific

okey thats seems reasonable without pushing it too much, rough terrain is quite straining, next week after the stiches come out i'll be back at it again. Thanks a lot!

thank you so much for replying! you're potentially saving my week!

i'll put on some padded shorts, put on a good bandage, and then i can cycle ? low risk ofc but for 3 hours? and if it starts hurting i stop ofc. Does that seem reasonable?

Tomorrow that is, 4 days after, still too early? padding stiches

thats a long time..... :( given that the scrotum wont be streched when i bicycle isnt it possible to do it earlier than 2 weeks. Did some mild cycling to work and it seems like no problem

thanks tbh i'm addicted to riding so that's the longest i can keep away anyway. Seems in line with what the nurse said ar the hospital said (i think its a bit hazy cant remember all the recommendations)

thank you though :)
